      Tanev logged an assist, four hits and two PIM in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

      Advice: Tanev avoided missing time after suffering an injury in Game 4 versus the Oilers. The defenseman did his job this postseason, picking up two assists to go with 73 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-7 rating over 19 playoff contests. Even at 34 years old, Tanev should have a healthy market as a steady and reliable shutdown defenseman if he makes it to free agency July 1. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:49 pm
       
    • Unavailable Sunday
      Hakanpaa (lower body) won't be an option for Game 6 against Edmonton on Sunday, per Stars radio host Owen Newkirk .

      Advice: Hakanpaa will miss his 32nd straight contest, including his 19th consecutive playoff outing. It remains unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Hakanpaa registered two goals, 12 points, 56 shots on net, 196 hits and 123 blocked shots in 64 regular-season outings during the 2023-24 campaign. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:26 pm
       
    • Practicing in non-contact jersey
      Vesey (upper body) is at practice Saturday in a non-contact jersey, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Vesey was injured eight days ago in Game 2 against Florida on May 24 and was deemed week-to-week. The 31-year-old winger has a goal and two assists through 12 appearances this postseason. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:47 am
       
    • Not practicing Saturday
      Wheeler (undisclosed) is not at Saturday's morning skate ahead of Game 6 against Florida, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

      Advice: According to a source, Wheeler is banged up, leaving his status unclear for Saturday's must-win contest. He has suited up in only one game since Feb. 15 because of a leg injury. Wheeler logged just 9:18 of ice time in Game 4 versus the Panthers on Tuesday before sitting out Thursday's Game 5. Anton Blidh has been filling in for Wheeler during Saturday's practice, but the 29-year-old Blidh probably won't be in the lineup even if Wheeler is unavailable.

    • Plucks apple Friday
      Stankoven logged an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

      Advice: Stankoven has just two helpers over five contests in the Western Conference Finals after picking up four points in the second round. The 21-year-old forward is at eight points, 33 shots on net, 21 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 18 playoff outings. He'll likely continue to see middle-six minutes as the Stars look to keep their season alive in Game 6 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:00 pm
       
    • Scores first playoff goal
      Broberg scored a goal and blocked three shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

      Advice: Broberg's first career playoff goal stretched the Oilers' lead to 3-0 in the second period. The defenseman has played in each of the last two games, replacing Vincent Desharnais in a third-pairing role. With limited minutes, Broberg is unlikely to be a steady source of offense, and he also lacks the physicality that kept Desharnais in the lineup for so long. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:36 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Tanev (lower body) will play Friday in Game 5 against the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

      Advice: Tanev was injured after blocking a shot in Game 4 on Wednesday but won't miss any additional time. He's tallied just one assist through 17 appearances this postseason. Rotowire.com Friday, 5:12 pm
       
    • Heading to Switzerland
      Larsson signed a two-year deal with the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers of Switzerland's National League on Friday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen reports Friday.

      Advice: Larsson had seven goals, 33 points and 46 PIM in 61 regular-season contests with AHL Belleville in 2023-24. The 27-year-old has recorded three goals, 24 points and 52 PIM in 172 career NHL games, but he didn't play at the top level in 2023-24. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:30 pm
       
    • Game-time decision Friday
      Tanev (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Game 5 versus Edmonton on Friday, though coach Peter DeBoer is optimistic that Tanev (lower body) will play, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Tanev was injured blocking a shot Wednesday in the second period and was unable to return. Tanev is a stud defensively and if he is unable to go, the Stars will need to fill a big hole on the blue line. Lian Bichsel is poised to make his NHL debut if Tanev is unable to go.
